The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour Comes to Philadelphia
An Inspirational Journey for an Inspirational Young Man
The power of one individual to make a difference cannot be measured in words, but in actions. John Ellis, a 17-year-old from Pensacola, Fla., was diagnosed with hepatitis B in 2006. Instead of being discouraged by this devastating medical diagnosis, John turned the news into an opportunity to raise awareness about hepatitis B. With a passion for cycling and a desire to help raise funds to find a cure for the disease, John contacted the Hepatitis B Foundation (www.hepb.org) with an idea to organize an East Coast cycling tour. Today, John’s idea has become a reality! The Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour, sponsored by the Hepatitis B Foundation, is a 1,100 mile journey which began on June 2 at John’s high school in Pensacola and ended in Philadelphia on June 23 – John’s 18th birthday!
A group of Hepatitis B Foundation researchers, staff, supporters, friends and family joined John and his riding companion and best friend, Jamaal Warren, for the last leg of their journey from Conshohocken to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia. John and Jamaal were welcomed at their Kelly Drive finish line by the Hepatitis B Foundation; Philadelphia’s Fralinger String Band Mummers; O’Liver, the Hepatitis B Foundation’s mascot; friends and family from Philadelphia and Pensacola and many more. ABC 6’s Health and Medical Reporter, Ali Gorman, served as the event emcee and Councilman Greenlee presented John with a citation from the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Timothy Block, Co-Founder of the Hepatitis B Foundation and Dr. Baruch Blumberg, Nobel laureate who discovered the hepatitis B virus also participated in the event program congratulating John for his extraordinary accomplishments.
About John Ellis and the Believe in the Cure Cycling Tour: John Ellis is an extraordinary young man. He was a healthy teenager, when the results of a routine blood test revealed that he had hepatitis B. This news came just two weeks before his 16th birthday and John recalls emotions of, “being incredibly scared because I didn’t know what having hepatitis B would mean for me.” His fear was further fueled by his doctor who told him that he would eventually need a liver transplant. John’s world was turned upside down. He was frightened and also confused as to how he could have contracted this potentially fatal disease; he had received the hepatitis B vaccine in middle school.
John turned to the Hepatitis B Foundation to learn more about his disease. The Foundation is the only national nonprofit organization solely dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected with hepatitis B worldwide. Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks liver cells and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. The virus is transmitted through infected blood. In the U.S., 1 out of 20 persons (or 12 million Americans) have been infected with HBV.
Armed with information about hepatitis B and with a conviction to improve his health, John gave up a junk food diet and began exercising. He purchased a $50 bike from a local bike store and started riding it everywhere – to school, to work and just for fun. “I knew I wanted to ride for a cause. People need to become more aware about hepatitis B and how it affects us,” said John. John has shown us courage in the truest sense of the word. He is approaching his chronic hepatitis B diagnosis with a positive attitude and embarking on this cycling tour to prove to himself that he can overcome obstacles placed in his path. Knowing that there is no cure for hepatitis B does not dampen his spirits. “If I believe in my heart that things will work out for the best, then who’s to say I’m not cured,” said John.
Sponsors of the Cycling Tour include NutriSystem, CP Commercial Printing, Monster Graphics, Bikes Plus (Pensacola, Fla.), Fox Rothschild LLP, High Swartz LLP, Newman’s Own Organic, Clif Bars, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.

You could be forgiven for wondering which of the two walls in this photo was freshly painted and which was still bare lining paper.
The actual answer is that I had just finished painting the wall around the window. Even in real life, the difference was relatively subtle and it showed up even less well in the photo.
The paint seems to darken a bit as it dries, making it slightly less similar to the colour of the lining paper. This is just as well as otherwise I might as well not have bothered painting over it! (On the other hand, the paint should be a bit easier to keep clean).
Different people express love in a different manner.

Differences in Arabica's. Caffènation's Kenya Ken has chaff and has a sour taste. Lévelt is always a sure good bet with these beautifully roasted centre-American beans and finally Curly Coffee's Arabica (a slow roast mix of Latin American beans) roasted in Deventer with a nice taste.
Also differences in chaff, the thin film that coats the bean in the pod. Less chaff means more coffee taste. Chaff are the remains of the skin after roasting.
Preparation: Hario V60 pourover, medium ground
Winner? Simon Lévelt (of these 3) in my book.

Wow, I definitely like the Halsam American Log house better than the Lincoln Log house. The pitch of the American Log house looks much more realistic and more log cabiny. Which one do you think looks better?
Sainsbury Taste the Difference Tap Room IPA
Its 6.3%, 355mls, had an aroma that was cream, toffee and some spice to it.
Again good carbonation and good head, this was a bit better although thin in the mouth. It had a better balance of the malt, some fruitness and spice, but rather light on the bitterness, at least there was some in this beer though.

The difference in size between the Union Pacific Big Boy and the locomotive next to it is undeniable. UP built 25 of the Big Boy's and this is one of the eight remaining examples in Denver, CO.
